the video obit played at the end of a loser's "journey". The contestant looks pale and zitty at their first local audition, when they walk into the small conference room at the Birmingham, Alabama Ramada Inn, lit poorly by fluorescent lights from above. By the time the obit plays to the strains of "I'm Goin' Home," the contestant has a healthy Peach Pit glow.But the more startling changes happen season-to-season. We all remember Clay Aiken emerging from behind at last year's finale, looking like k.d. lang, to greet his desperate doppelganger, Michael Sandecki (aka Clay Faiken), while both sang "Don't Let The Sun Shine Down On Me." Sandecki became crazed. I wasn't sure if he was going to kiss Clay - or try to stab him. It was a terrifying "Single White Idol" moment. Luckily the robotic Ryan efficiently straitjacketed Sandecki and Clay was safe. (While being carted off afterward, Sandecki was heard pining, "I've always depended on the kindness of Seacrest.")
But Clay's transformation has been eclipsed by two others this year: Kellie Pickler's astonishing new jugs. And Elliott Yamin's new teeth, aka The White Cliffs of Dover.
So...

1. Clay's makeover was fantastic. He still looks good. Elliott's teeth however should be a little smaller! That's all you see when he opens his mouth. As for Kelly - well I can assure you her makeover was very profitable!

2. I dont know....im so used to seeing Elliot's teeth messed up that his new ones just dont look right. Im sure eventually they will once you get used to em.

3. I think the Elliott's Teeth are the better enhansement. His teeth were pretty messed up. Kelly was a Blond Bimbo to begain with and now that they took her brain and pumped it into her breast... the same is still true.

4. Kelly's boobs look like Dolly Partons and Elliot could mountain climb with those teeth

5. Kellys boobs look like Dolly Partins and Elliot could mountain climb without a hook with those teeth

6. I vote elliott. I think the teeth looked good but his voice will carry him a long way. Kellie always wanted to be Dolly and I guess this was the first step. But her annoying personality and soso voice will make her a one CD wonder.

7. Dear Mo,

10. Elliott's teeth however should be a little smaller! They are also a bit too long. He doesn't seem to be able to close his mouth comfortable. Next he'll have jaw problems

11. Teeth are too white and big. Boobs are not too big. I vote for the boobs.

12. Change your glasses Mo, I don't see any resemblance between Lang and Aiken. Unless you are just trying to slam him with that backhand of yours.

13. whoever got a hold on Pickler should be ashamed of themselves they took a different sweet girl into a clown what a mess

14. I'd like to bite Kelly's boobs with Elliot's teeth!!

15. I never could stomach Pickler in the 1st place. She is a 2nd rate talent at best. I saw a video she has done, looking hideous and sounding worse; whining out a tyical "crying in your beer" song. Fake boobs are a dime a dozen, nothing special. Elliott's new teeth are an improvement, and all that hair, woooow. Elliott will have longevity in a singing career due to true talent and lovely spirit.
